OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system.

Everyone:

i have been been using Audiogon to educate myself on trying to improve my audio systems ( yes I have two systems - one in my main living area and one in my man cave ). I actively buy used equipment on Audiogon and I use the discussion boards to educate myself on how to best improve my sound. I just specifically asked for help on implementing the ‘new orange fuse from SR in my main system on another thread that apparently just got shut down ! To clarify comments made on the thread that is now closed - I am only looking to replace fuses that I have access to on the outside of my system components. I am not opening up any equipment. I am not qualified to do this - I am a Chemist who loves music! Audiogon discussion boards have improved my sound in the last 6 months to a level that is ‘over the Moon great’. I now use Anticable for my interconnects and speaker wire, Furman Elite 15 Power Conditioner, High Fidelity Cables MC 0.5 Power Conditioner.  I upgraded my Maggie 1.6 qrs- they are now Peter Gunned - midrange vocals are the best I have ever heard!

the people hear that have helped me - you know who you are - elizebeth - nonoise - thanks again for the help!

i asked for help directly from Oregonpapa concerning the SR Orange fuse just released - but I got the thread killed I guess - sorry. Not my intent. I just wanted to buy the correct fuse that I can access without opening up my equipment. I listed my specific equipment earlier - but the only fuses I have access to are:

Krell KAV 400 xi - one fuse port labeled AGC 8 - this integrated amp is out of warranty and 9 years old - still sounds great
Maggie 1.7i - type 3AG 4 amp max

any help would be appreciated!

Oh BTW Jerry, this is Geoff’s site, you should find some you don’t have, maybe, you two should get on like a house on fire.
George, your wisdom is intimidating, as is your quick wit.
I love your ability to listen to others, how open you are to other view points and experiences, your respectfulness, fairness and compassion.
How kind you are to others. What an awesome human being...

Love listening to others that have something "sound" to say, just not snake oil voodooist like you two, it needs culling from hi-end audio as it’s doing it harm.

How kind you are to others.
Very kind to those that need it or ask for it you’ll see if you search, just not to those that believe in voodoo snake oil products, that only in Scientology could it have a place.

Scientology believes in effective tweeks? Who knew?

Seriously though... Copying Jerry's post was in bad taste. That makes me wonder... George, are you just angry your products don't sell as well as the tweeks do? Maybe you should start selling tweeks instead of whatever it is you sell. (Just trying to help)
